In this Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2016 photo, family members rinse out the red tikka powder, which is only allowed for married women, from the forehead of Saro Kumari Mandal, 26, after the death of her husband Balkisun Mandal Khatwe, 26, at Belhi village, in Saptari district, Nepal. Balkisun died in his sleep in Qatar, where he was working for Habtoor Leighton Group, loading trucks to build new highways. The number of Nepali workers going abroad has more than doubled since the country began promoting foreign labor in recent years: from about 220,000 in 2008 to about 500,000 in 2015. Yet the number of deaths among those workers has risen much faster in the same period. In total, over 5,000 workers from this small country have died working abroad since 2008, more than the number of U.S. troops killed in the Iraq War. (AP Photo/Niranjan Shrestha)
